unidentified cardiac conditions you may have. Because we value the importance of knowing your risk and taking steps
towards prevention, we highly encourage you to contact your COPC physician for a cardiac test referral as soon as possible.

Nuclear Scans

A nuclear test (stress or pharmacological[medication]) determines whether or not your heart is getting enough blood flow.
To perform the test, we will inject a small amount of Cardiolite into your blood through an IV, and then a special camera
will be used to take pictures of your heart. If you are scheduled for a nuclear scan, please download our
Caffeine Worksheet,
Pharmacological Cardiolite sheet, or our
Stress Cardiolite sheet
for instructions on your procedure.

* This service is accredited by the American College of Radiology.

Stress Echocardiograms

A stress echo is another test that determines whether or not your heart is getting enough blood flow.
For this test, ultrasound images are taken of your heart before and after exercise.
If you are scheduled for a stress echocardiogram, please download our Stress Echo sheet
and our Caffeine Worksheet for instructions.

* This service is accredited by ICAEL, the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Echo Laboratories.

An echo is a resting ultrasound of your heart. It will look at the movement of
the valves and the walls of your heart.

Stress Testing

A stress test is only used to quantify maximum functional capacity and determine guidelines for activities.
For this test, the patient will walk on the treadmill while the body's physiological responses to exercise are being
measured (heart rate and blood pressure). If you are scheduled for a stress test, please download your
